Fens are areas of low-lying land that are saturated with water, either permanently or seasonally.

Fenofibric is a generic term for a type of medication that belongs to the class of fibrates. Fibrates are a subclass of lipid-lowering agents, which are used to lower the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B in the blood. Fenofibric acid is the active ingredient in medications such as Tricor, which help to reduce the risk of heart disease by improving the body's ability to remove excess fat from the blood. It is often prescribed in combination with other medications, such as statins, to treat dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid levels) and to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Feod is a rather archaic term that refers to a piece of land or property that is granted or held by a vassal in exchange for their loyalty, service, and military support to a lord or sovereign. In other words, a feod was a form of rent or income generated from the land that was tied to the land itself, typically in the form of crops or other natural resources.
